Our Holiness Must Be Based On Christ's Atonement

The biggest question you will ever face is not what have I done? The biggest question in our life is what do I believe? Christ is our all in all. He not only offers us a new nature, but holiness must have its foundation in Christ. A personal holiness, like that of the Pharasees, is of no value to God and a nuisance to man. Christ built holiness has Christ at the center of our life and all the rest of our life an out pouring of that. It is a natural obedience, not one with great toil and sacrifice. This kind of obedience is based on choice and the choice being to be a follower of Jesus.
This way, many will be drawn to Christ and to the Father for their glory and honor.

Daily Prayer: Father, let me simply let go and let God. Life was not designed to be complicated. It was designed for us to be the flock of the Good Shepherd. That's it. So let us not bring more into the formula than that. Let us simply follow and believe. Amen.
